The most precious possession that ever comes to a man in this world is a woman's heart.

A noble deed is a step toward God.

God gives every bird its food, but he does not throw it into the nest.

Heaven is not reached at a single bound; But we build the ladder by which we rise From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies, And we mount to its summit round by round.

The great soul that sits on the throne of the universe is not, never was, and never will be, in a hurry.

Joys divided are increased.

The mind grows by what it feeds on.

I count this thing to be grandly true: That a noble deed is a step toward God.

Sorrows when shared are less burdensome, though joys divided are increased.

Work is the means of living, but it is not living.
